Raffles Hotel Le Royal's Signature Cocktail  
In 1967, America's unofficial roving ambassador Jaqueline Kennedy visited Cambodia to fulfill "a lifelong dream of seeing Angkor Wat." Besides visiting the ancient temples, she found time to admire Prince Norodom Sihanouk's own jazz compositions – The Evening I Met You – as well as the famous rouge Champagne cocktail in the Elephant Bar. Years later when Raffles Hotel Le Royal was being renovated, the glass she drank from - which still had her lipstick mark on it - was found.  Today, to commemorate her visit to Phnom Penh, this elegant evening cocktail is reborn as Femme Fatale and served at the Elephant Bar in Raffles Hotel Le Royal and sister property Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor. This signature cocktail is based on Champagne with Crème de Fraise Sauvage and a dash of Cognac. Rum, Coconut Passion, Crème de Banana, Coconut, Pineapple and Lime Juice makes this signature cocktail a definite must try.

Writer's Bar: Guests can spend a quiet afternoon relaxing here. Enjoy Raffles Hotel Le Royal's signature cocktails, other beverages and local snacks.

The Conservatory: While away the afternoon with fresh scones, sandwiches and delicate pastries, served along with a premium selection of tea and coffee in a beautiful setting.
 
What could be more enjoyable than traditional English afternoon tea or light refreshments served in The Conservatory?  The discreet atmosphere and service enhances the gentle sounds of live classical music from 5pm to 8pm.

Raffles Amrita Spas welcome savvy travelers in search of fitness, serenity and rejuvenation. The name is inspired by an ancient Sanskrit legend, where deities searched for “Amrita”, the elixir of youth.
